The virus 'appeared' right before the Lunar New Year extended vacation; almost as though it was planned for peak spread globally. And yes, 5 million did leave Wuhan, and a lot of other cities left as well. China's population is still somewhat agrarian, and go back to their villages during this time. Right now, we're about 2 and a half, or so weeks past when they go back to work, but now even Beijing, and Shanghai along with all the rest are under varying degrees of quarantine.

There are videos circulating, or were, where by people throughout China were beating anyone who had a Wuhan accent; out of fear of them being infectious.
